Our stay was pleasant. The Inn is clean. Their rooms are nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. The breakfast is your typical continental breakfast, nothing fancy. I believe they offer cottages as well that would be worth staying at as well. Their location is perfect and walkable to the beach and shops. Would stay here again.

Power was out all over Carmel so we didn’t get to enjoy the breakfast but from the looks of things -the breakfast was just a few pastries, cold cereal, and fruit. Even with power this appeared to be the norm. The property was just average. Small rooms and nothing special about the facility. We have stayed and several properties around Carmel and Ocean Ave and have been able to find better hotels with more amenities for the same price. Sadly we most likely will not return.
Roof construction and noise we were not notified of upon reservation or on Expedia website. Extremely rude General Manager when approached by us about the situation. She specifically told us we shouldn't have booked with Expedia. Wow!
Breakfast menu good. Nice selections. Service excellent and very clean

We prefer the Normandy Inn for our frequent stays in Carmel by the sea. You can’t beat the location and price. Always clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities and complimentary breakfast. We will be back again and again,
Great staff, clean room and remodeled bathroom looks great. Awful water pressure in shower made washing hair difficult. Great location but…there will always be noise from adjacent rooms. Old hotel with paper thin walls. You can hear snoring from all directions
